Abstract:	The material relates to the conflict between the ANC and the IFP in the 1980s and 1990s. Thousands of people died during the internecine civil war between the ANC and the IFP – These documents are historically important, politically sensitive and unavailable elsewhere. The package contains Walter Felgate’s security papers, extracts from Felgate’s unpublished memoir, Felgate’s Section 29 TRC hearing and correspondence between Chief Mangosuthu Buthelezi, Sir Laurens van der Post and others.
